TTC February/March

[Sallyjo27]

Hi ladies anyone want to join me in a thread to chat about ttc this month? I’m currently on CD2.
A bit about me.

I’m 28 and TTC baby number 1. We’ve been trying for a year and a half now, I had 4 recurrent miscarriages in 2020 so hoping the next will stick. I’ve been given new medication to try next time.

@CycloGoose

I'm too afraid she'd tell me I'm a barren husk, *@Slinks8113* 🤣😂🤣

😂😂 I was dreading the same 🙈

@SparkDiSparkle thank you! And congratulations on your BFP!!! Wonderful news ❤️

@Scarletpig1 thank you so much! Sorry that’s my abbreviation, FR - First Response xx

Thank you all for the congrats, we are so so happy but there are a lot of people around me with mc and chemicals.. I can’t make myself believe this is real until I don’t see it on an ultrasound. It’s crazy how I was so worried about conceiving before and now that it happened I just have to be worried about an other stuff..

@CycloGoose I am only dpo12 today, AF was due for Monday/Tuesday. I got a definite line on both frers and ‘regular’ sticks on dpo10 so got my hopes up it’s gonna stick, but you never know (jeez I am so positive)

We have been trying since December, I got my copper coil out then. First I was so naive, we just had unprotected dtd and waited for a miracle. Then the googling started and with that a more systematic approach 😂 I am 34 and don’t have any kids yet, so I got super worried super fast it was never going to happen.

So exciting @SparkDiSparkle and I know what you mean about chemicals etc.

I'm 34, too been trying since end of August but still hopeful! You give me extra hope. Fingers crossed for you and us all xxx

That's great news @SparkDiSparkle congrats! Also 34 here and had my daughter at 22 so I've convinced myself I'm old now and she agrees 😂

5dpo today. I've decided I'm going to test next Friday at 11DPO and if that's bfn then not test again until AF is late. I was super emotional last night over nothing (had a cry which I never do) and woke up with a cold sore 😭 so must be run down. Haven't had one in a long time. I hope the next week flies past!

Hello

Was wondering if you lovely ladies could help m.

I'm currently on cycle day 16 of my 27 day cycle - I had my LH Peak on the 16th of Feb...

But today I've had a dark line again? Whats going on?

12dpo today and another bfn. Have felt like AF has been coming for days. More today than the others but still no sign at all. 🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️ I won’t test now until Monday or Tuesday

@Genevive123 it could be that your body tries to ovulate on the 14th but for some reason didn’t so your body is trying again do you take your BBT?

Hi ladies, got my peak yesterday 🎉 lots of BD the past few days. Also it’s the earliest I’ve ever ovulated. I’m positive it’s because of the acupuncture on Monday, I’ve got another session tomorrow. How are you all? Sorry to those who have had BFNs ♥️ Xxx

Massive congratulations to the BFPs too! Xxx

@CeeJay1987 congrats girl.so happy for u xx. U did right by waiting. Is it 14dpo today for u?

@SparkDiSparkle congrats hun xx

Happy for all the ladies with positives xx gives us hope ...🥰🥰🥰🥰

Btw whats a Smep method? Sorry if its a silly question

@Iloveoreos it’s the sperm meets egg method. “ SMEP, the “Sperm Meets Egg Plan” is a TTC (trying to conceive) plan that helps you get pregnant faster with ovulation awareness and intercourse timing. Even if you time intercourse perfectly, you’ve only got a 25% chance to get pregnant each cycle. The SMEP method ensures you get that 1 in 4 shot by literally making sure the sperm and egg have every opportunity to meet each and every cycle.

In order to ensure sperm and egg meet, you will “try” every other day starting on the eighth day of your cycle. The timing of this is based on how long sperm live, realistically a few days under ideal conditions. On the tenth day of your cycle you will begin daily testing with OPKs (ovulation prediction kits) and upon receiving a positive OPK you will “try” 3 more days in a row. Skip one day and give it one more try.

Then the waiting begins… if your period has not arrived 15 days after your positive OPK, take a home pregnancy test. It may be tempting to test early, as some home pregnancy tests now can detect a positive as early as 8 days past ovulation.”

@sallyjo27
Thanks hun..thats really useful.
Getting headaches today which is a cue for me that af is on its way in a day or or so . so defo going for smep method in new cycle.

I'm so tempted to do this tarot thing....I've just found her page....!!!

@lucea87

I'm so tempted to do this tarot thing....I've just found her page....!!!

It sounds silly I know but it really did give me a sense of relief 🤷🏼‍♀️ Will see in April if any truth to it I guess 😂🙈

@lucea87 @Slinks8113 I’ve bought soooo many reading from Etsy. This was one “ Message:First we look at a month that will be significant in your fertility journey and for this I have got April. I only look 12 months ahead so this would be April this year.

Next is the gender and the personality of the baby in for this I have got a little girl who is going to be very into nature and animals so a very gentle little girl. She's likely to be very curious so getting anywhere will take you ages a silhouette be stopping and putting things in her pockets to keep. a bit of a treasure hunter.

Finally I'm looking at what could stop you or what could potentially get in your way and for this I have got the card of wait for winter so although April has come out as significant, it could mean but a better time would be during the winter. It tells me that you will have more spirit energy around you in the winter helping you to manifest baby. With this card it very much feels as though this baby will happen for you regardless and keeping warm would be helpful so during the two week wait, it's been known to help if you wear socks but also take half an hour a day to put a hot water bottle on your belly and to just lay down and relax as it really helps with that implantation process. Snow is somehow going to be significant around this pregnancy so either you'll give birth when it snowing or you will conceive when it's snowing.”

I’ve added the other as an attachment. I take them with a pinch of salt though as I don’t want the pressure of thinking “well I must get pregnant that month because the reading says” if you know what I mean. My husband doesn’t like them though he thinks they prey on people when their vulnerable- (i bought these after my 4th miscarriage in December). I think as long as their seen as fun then there’s no harm xxx

How did she do it? Was it a video call? Or just over messenger?

@Sallyjo27 definitely agree with you in terms of the vulnerability factor as I don't think I would have asked if I had not had a miscarriage in December either. I've had a tarot reading before as my friend dragged me along and it was pretty accurate in terms of career and love life at the time. X

@lucea87 it was just over messenger so yes it's hardly an aura or conversation etc. Who knows, I think I was just feeling a bit stressed and thought it might help 😂 and in my case it has as I'm not stressing this month in terms of ttc x x

That's ok. I think I'd find it weird as a video call! I've messaged her!x

@lucea87 let me know how you get on. It's something I'm really intrigued about x

After telling myself I wasn't testing because I was confident I wasn't pregnant, shows how much I know 😂
This was yesterday, I've had some brown spotting today which is exactly the same timeline as my MC, so I'm not too hopeful to be honest. Cross your fingers for me please!x

Oh congrats on the BFP! I've got everything crossed this is a sticky bean for you xx
